Is Upgrading to a 5060 Ti Worth It From a 1660 Super?
Asked by

I'm looking to upgrade my GPU from a 1660 Super to a 5060 Ti with 16 GB of memory. I've been eyeing this upgrade as the prices have come down, but I'm curious if it's a solid enough upgrade to justify the $400 price tag. I built my PC about 7 years ago, and I'm wondering if now is the right time to make this change.

For $400, you’re getting a great upgrade! It should easily handle gaming at high settings with impressive frame rates. Just keep in mind that your older components might limit the card’s performance, so consider what you might need to upgrade next. Like maybe the motherboard or CPU, since your R7 2700X is pretty dated now.

Honestly, if the 5060 Ti delivers the performance you're looking for, then go for it! Just check if your power supply is sufficient, and if your CPU can keep up. Sounds like you've made some good upgrades already—but might be time to think about a CPU upgrade down the road.

It really depends on your entire setup. If your CPU, RAM, and PSU can handle it, then yes, it should be a significant upgrade for sure. The 5060 Ti will perform much better especially at 1080p or even 1440p. Just make sure your other components are ready too!
